Troy's two-minute drill vs. South Alabama (Photo gallery)

MOBILE, Alabama -- Here's Troy's two-minute drill for its game against South Alabama at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile on Saturday:

WHY TROY WON

Take your pick, but a 495-yard-producing offense doesn't hurt, along with a defense that held the Jaguars to just 10 points and only 59 yards passing. A deeper roster with more (in this case, any) experience in Sun Belt Conference play was a factor too.

KEY MOMENT

After a slow start in which Corey Robinson's first pass on the game's first play was intercepted and the next offensive series led to a punt, the Trojans turned a fumble recovery on a punt to South Alabama into a field goal and followed it up with a touchdown on the next offensive possession. The 10-0 lead put the Trojans in the driver's seat.

STARS OF THE GAME

Kanorris Davis: Although playing on a tender ankle, Davis made a huge impact with 11 total tackles. He tracked down USA offensive players from side to side.

Brynden Trawick: With nine total tackles, including six solo stops, Trawick did his part too. And then some. He also intercepted a pass int he end zone, the first of his career, and had a pass breakup.

Corey Robinson: Yep, he threw three interceptions, one a throw-it-up-for-grabs pass in the end zone on a fourth-down play. But Robinson also threw for 223 yards and chipped in a rushing touchdown.

WHAT FANS ARE SAYING?

Bring on Western Kentucky. With the Trojans picking up a second straight Sun Belt win and with a week off to heal some bumps and bruises and polish up some trouble spots, confidence is growing among the Troy Nation. If turnovers can be eliminated and the Trojans can add a touchdown or two per game, Troy could make a serious run at the league crown. Again.

CALL OF THE DAY

On third-and-goal from the Jags' 7 and nursing a 10-7 lead, No. 2 quarterback Deon Anthony was sent into the game. He rolled out to his right, making the South Alabama defense think run, but he tossed a pass to Chandler Worthy who slipped into the end zone for the score and a 17-7 Troy lead.

WHERE DID HE COME FROM?

With all the attention that is garnered by Robinson and his ability to throw the deep pass, the assets Anthony brings to the Trojans' offense sometimes get lost. But it should be noted that against USA, Thomas was 3-for-3 passing for 58 yards (one yard shy of the combined passing yards total of the two South Alabama quarterbacks Saturday) and a touchdown and had seven carries for another 37 yards.

ROUGH DAY

The guy charged with keeping Troy's pass receiving stats sheet. Seven players caught at least one pass with four of them catching at least three passes. The longest receptions of the day? From longest (Chris Williams) to shortest (Jaquon Robinson) it was 44, 39, 38, 19, 16, 11, 5.

NEXT WEEK

Troy gets a break, but not a full two weeks until its next game. Idle this weekend, the Trojans return to action on Thurs., Oct. 11 at home against Western Kentucky, which is off to a strong start. The game will be televised nationally by ESPNU.
